How RDNs Support Patients With Eating Disorders

How RDNs Support Patients With Eating Disorders
April 9, 2019The Nutrition ProfessionalsPatient Educationeating disorders

Eating disorders can happen to anyone regardless of age, race or socioeconomic status. Eating disorders are mainly characterized by a diversity of psychological turmoil that leads to abnormal and distressed eating habits. If you or someone you love is suffering from an eating disorder, you may be relieved to know that the registered dietitian nutritionists at The Nutrition Professionals can help.
In the recent past, registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) have been striving to encourage people with this challenge. Many patients that make a series of visits to nutritional counseling centers should be positive minded and believe that the problem can be short-lived.
The eating disorders that have been diagnosed in a large number of patients are Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, Anorexia Nervosa among other Specified Eating and Feeding Disorders (OSFEDDs).
However, RDNS are working around the clock to support patients with eating disorders to full recovery. Registered dietitian nutritionists can provide medical nutrition therapy to patients. The following are various effective ways through which the registered dietitian nutritionists assist patients in adopting healthy eating habits.

  • Inpatient hospitalization whereby the RDN works hand in hand with a treatment team to evaluate the patient and formulate an appropriate and effective nutrition care plan. This nutrition plan entails a consistent schedule where the patient is put on a customized diet. In addition, the plan may integrate tube feeding.
  • The outpatient plan can also be a fruitful arrangement where the RDN works with the outpatient team to reach out to the patient out of the hospital setting. It is mainly referred to as the residential treatment setup. This method of treating eating disorders strives towards exposing the patient to a wide variety of foods. Additionally, it works efficiently to make the patient experience feared and avoided food varieties. The RDN is responsible for restoring the nutrient scarcities and capitalize on the intake for the psychological well-being of the patient. In this method, the RDN also goes further to help the patient to come up with a set of cooking skills which are necessary to put the best-cooked food on the dining table.
  • Counseling the patient is often another way to tackle the eating disorders. The patient is made to understand that certain foods in question can be taken without real negative effects.

A registered dietitian nutritionist is an important part of the medical team for a patient suffering from an eating disorder. Contact the registered dietitian nutritionists at The Nutrition Professionals for support for your condition today.
